GOP leadership rejects resolution acknowledging Biden as President-elect

19. This is a huge problem

Republicans - the entire party and their constituency within the American public - have adopted a new standard of operation where any election they win is "a clear mandate and the will of the people" (no matter how small the win) and every election they lose "is illegitimate and a result of electoral malfeasance by the other side" (no matter how big the loss). A full implementation of totalitarian, minority rule (with them in charge) still qualifies as "democracy" in the heads of these shitty, evil little bastards.

This is dangerous and signals the end of the American experiment. No hyperbole - I really believe this.

The UK is made up of four essentially independent countries. Each has a lot more independence within the UK than a state does within the US. I feel the only way we'll be able to continue is with a devolution of sorts into more autonomous federal districts where we get to interpret the constitution our own way and let these intellectually and emotionally stunted persons have their own lands where they can carry on with their regressive, 15th century "superiority".

I really want to be compassionate toward my fellow citizens with whom I have so much disagreement. I could agree to disagree 20 years ago.

But, no longer. I've run out of shits to give. I feel terrible.
